13C NMR of organosulphur compounds: I—the effects of sulphur substituents on the 13C chemical shifts of alkyl chains and of S-heterocycles

The ¹³C NMR spectra have been determined of: (i) aliphatic compounds having at one end a functionalized sulphur atom (? SH, ? S^?, ? SMe, ? S(O)Me, ? SO₂Me and ? S⁺Me₂) and (ii) saturated sulphur heterocycles variously substituted at the S-atom . The results are discussed in terms of the familiar deshielding effects for α- and β-carbons and shielding effects for γ-carbons, exerted by the sulphur atom itself and/or by the atoms or groups of which the sulphur function is made up. The γ-effect of the S-atom appears to be nearly independent of the nature of the S-function and of comparable magnitude to that of an aliphatic carbon (?2·5 + ?3·0 ppm). Surprisingly, however, a S? CH₃ group shields the carbon in γ position with respect to CH₃ by an amount (?5·4 ppm) which is more than twice that (?2·5 ppm) exerted by the aliphatic γ-carbon on the S-CH₃ carbon itself. As to the cyclic compounds, the shieldings of the α- and β-carbons can be rationalized in terms of the conformational orientation of the substituent at sulphur, and the equilibrium distribution of the conformers. The results confirm the great value of ¹³C NMR for configurational and conformational assignment of S-heterocycles.     

Crystal engineering through non-bonded contacts to sulphur : Structure and solid state photoreactivity of 4-(4'-chloro)-phenyl-Δ-4-thiazolene-2-thione

Weak but directionally specific interstack S....S and S....Cl contacts may be used to engineer the 4 Å -short axis β-structure for a planar sulphur heterocycle. A representative compound is the title thione 2. Crystals of 2 are monoclinic, P2¹/n, Z=8, a=17.327(4), b=3.950(2), c=27.877(6) Å, B=93.88(2)°; R=0.050, R_w=0.044 on 783 non-zero reflections. Molecules related by translation along [010] are within photoreactive distance and the β-structure leads to the rapid formation on UV irradiation of a fused tricyclic mirror symmetry cyclobutane 3. This dimer is very unstable and collapses thermally to the novel ten-membered diolefin 4. The β-packing mode is adopted by several other related sulphur heterocycles.     

Preparation of CuAsF6 and Ni[AsF6]2.2SO2

Arsenic pentafluoride reacts with excess copper in sulphur dioxide to give CuAsF₆. A similar reaction with elemental nickel yields Ni(AsF₆)₂.2SO₂, the structure of which is discussed. The X-ray powder diffraction photograph of CuAsF₆ was indexed on a rhombohedral unit cells a = 5.49±.01Å, α = 55.7±.1°, V = 105.4ų, Z = 1, and is of the same structural type as LiSbF₆ showing that the cuprous ion is octahedrally surrounded by fluorines. Comparison of the unit cell volume of CuAsF₆ with other structurally similar hexafluoroarsenate salts shows that the effective volume of cuprous ion is small indicating substantial anion-cation interaction. Arsenic pentafluoride reacts with Monel in the presence of sulphur dioxide give a mixtures of CuAsF₆ and Ni[AsF₆]₂.2SO₂.     

Transmetallation reactions involving phenylenemercurials

When heated with Group V and Group VI elements, the phenylenemercurials (C₆H₄Hg)₃, (C₆F₄Hg)₃ and (C₆Cl₄Hg)₃ form heterocycles of formulae (M₂(C₆X₄)₃ and M′₂(C₆X₄)₂ where M = As, Sb, Bi and M′ = S, Se, Te. The compounds Te₂(C₆Cl₄)₂ and M₂(C₆Cl₄)₃ (M = As, Sb, Bi) were also obtained by heating the elements with 1,2-I₂C₆Cl₄, which was prepared by mercuration of 1,2-H₂C₆Cl₄ followed by iododemercuration. Octachlorothianthrene has been obtained by heating sulphur with Te₂(C₆Cl₄)₂, C₆Cl₆ or C₆Cl₅I, and from the reaction between 1,2-H₂C₆Cl₄, AlCl₃, and S₂Cl₂.     

New routes to pentafluorophenyl derivatives with germanium-chalcogen bonds

Tris(pentafluorophenyl)germanethiol, (C₆F₅)₃GeSH (Ia), was obtained in good yield by heating the tris(pentafluorophenyl)germane with elemental sulphur or by the exchange between Et₃GeSH and (C₆F₅)₃GeBr. The reaction between sulphur and (C₆F₅)₂GeH₂ or C₆F₅GeH₃ gives heterocyclic products with chains of alternating germanium and sulphur atoms in the cycles. The compounds [(C₆F₅)₃Ge]₂X (X = S, Se) were prepared by exchange reaction of (Et₃Ge)₂X with tris(pentafluorophenyl)germanium bromide and by reaction of chalcogens (S₈, Se₈) with hexakis(pentafluorophenyl)digermane. Ia reacts with diethylmercury affording (C₆F₅)₃GeSHgEt. Insertion of elemental sulphur into the GeHg bond of bis[tris(pentafluorophenyl)germyl]mercury led to the thermally stable (C₆F₅)₃GeSHgGe(C₆F₅)₃.     

The reaction of 2′ 2′ 3′ 3′-tetrafluoropropyl-5-iodo-3-oxaoctafluoropentane sulfonate with dimethylsulfoxide and determination of the crystal structure of one of the products

The title reaction gave three known compounds (2, 3 and 4) and two new compounds, CH₃SCH₂(CF₂)₂H (5) and I(CF₂)₂O(CF₂)₂SO₃⁻S+(CH₃)₃ (6). The structure of 6 was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystals of 6 belong to monoclinic space group P2₁/C with a = 9.399, b = 15.651, c=10.934Å, β = 94.80° and z = 4. The structure was solved by heavy-atom method and refined by block-diagonal matrix least-squares procedure to a final R of 0.054 for 1999 independent observed reflexions. The S C bonds around the sulphur atom in trimethylsulphonium are pyramidal with the bond lengths of 1.814 Å, 1.800Å and 1.818 Å and the bond angles C-S-C of 101.06°, 101.52° and 102.53°. The distances of the sulphur atom in trimethylsulphonium to three oxygen atoms in the sulphonate radical are 3.79 Å, 3.64 Å and 3.34 Å respectively. These distances are out of the range of the normal S-O bond length. The structure consists of trimethylsulphonium cations and 5-iodo-3-oxaoctafluoropentane-sulphonate anions.     

Synthesis of a [5.3] furanoisoxazolophane and its transformation into 16-membered macrolides

The furanoisoxazolophane 3, available by intramolecular nitrile ylide cycloaddition, is transformed into macrolide-type products (6/7) by reductive (H₂/RaNi) and then oxidative (¹O₂) ring cleavage of the five-membered heterocycles.     

Synthesis of heterylamines

N-Substituted (CH₃, CH₂C₆H₅, C₆H₅) 2-aminoimidazoles, 2-aminobenzothiazoles, and 2-aminopyridine were obtained by cleavage of heterylphenyltriazenes formed from organolithium and organosodium compounds of heterocycles and phenyl azide.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1552–1554, November, 1972.     

Organylarsino-substituierte Schwefeldiimide: Die Kristallstrukturanalysen von 3, 7-Di-t-butyl-3H, 7H,-1λ4, 5λ4, 2, 4, 6, 8, 3, 7-dithiatetrazadiarsocin und Bis(diphenylarsino)schwefeldiimid

Organoarsino-Substituted Sulphur Diimides: Crystal Structure Analyses of 3, 7-Di-t-butyl-3H, 7H-1λ⁴, 5λ⁴, 2, 4, 6, 8, 3, 7-dithiatetrazadiarsocine and Bis (diphenylarsino)sulphur Diimide Reaction of the salt K₂SN₂ with organoarsenic chlorides leads to sulphur diimides containing organoarsino substituents at both ends. Single crystal X-ray structure analyses were carried out for two typical compounds, i.e. the cyclic eight-membered 3, 7-di-t-butyl-3H, 7H-1λ⁴, 5λ⁴, 2, 4, 6, 8, 3, 7-dithiatetrazadiarsocine ( 1a , prepared from K₂SN₂ and (t-Bu)AsCl₂ (1:1)) and the open-chain bis(diphenylarsino)sulphur diimide ( 2a , prepared from K₂SN₂ and Ph₂AsCl (1:2)). In both compounds the sulphur diimide groups are coplanar with their directly bound arsenic atoms. This coplanarity principle leads, in the case of 1a , to about conformation (mm2(C_2v) symmetry) of the eight-membered heterocycle; the t-butyl substituents occupy quasi equatorial positions. Small deviations from mm2 symmetry and torsions around the S?N bonds up to 12° can be explained as a consequence of the transnnular repulsion of the lone pairs at the arsenic atoms (As …As distance 3.683(1) Å). In the case of the open-chain S(N? AsPh₂)₂ ( 2a , 2(C₂) symmetry), a cis, cis configuration was found at the S?N double bonds which indicates As…As interaction. The As…As distance (3.379(1) Å) is shorter than in 1a and parallells a reduced interaction of the lone pairs at the As atoms. The S?N bond lenghts (1.517(5) Å in 1 a and 1.521(3) Å in 2a ) are characteristic of sulphur diimides withoug significant π-interaction with the substituents and correspond to S^IV?N double bonds.     

The Reaction of 2-Ethoxy-3-Phenylbenzo[D]-1,3, 2-Oxazaphosphorin-6-One with α-Ketocarboxylic Acid Esters: Synthesis of Benzo[d]-1,3,2-Oxazaphosphepine Derivatives

Abstract

The reactions of 2-ethoxy-3-phenylbenzo[d]-1,3,2-oxazaphosphorin-6-one with R-carbonylcarboxylic acids ethyl esters (R = CF₃, Ph, and Me) lead to the formation of seven-membered heterocycles, 2-ethoxy-9-ethoxycarbonyl-2,8-dioxo-3-phenyl-9-R-benzo[d]-1,3,2-oxazaphosphepines.     

Organothallium compounds X the formation of polyfluorophenylthallium compounds by desulphination reactions

The acetatobis(polyfluorophenyl)thallium(III) compounds R₂TlO₂CCH₃ (R = C₆F₅, $\text{p}$-HC₆F₄, or $\text{m}$-HC₆F₄) have been prepared by sulphur dioxide elimination reactions from the appropriate lithium polyfluorobenzenesulphinates and thallic trifluoroacetate or acetate under mild conditions. Owing to reduction of the thallic salt by liberated sulphur dioxide, good yields required the stoichiometry 2LiO₂SR: 3TlX₃ (X = O₂CCF₃ or O₂CCH₃). The reactions are considered to proceed via thallium(III) $\text{S}$-sulphinate complexes and a possible mechanism is discussed.     

Hydride generation activity of arsenosugars and thioarsenicals

The major arsenosugar compounds have been reported to be hydride-generation-active, however to a lesser extent in comparison with the inorganic arsenicals. We report here for the first time the identity and quantity of the volatile arsenicals generated by As-sugar-SO₃, As-sugar-SO₄, dimethylarsinoyl acetic acid and dimethylarsinoyl ethanol. Only one major volatile compound was identified for all four compounds studied: dimethylarsine. This means that the As–C bond to the longer carbon chain was cleaved during the hydride-generation process. Theoretical calculations at the RHF/6-31G(d,p) ab initio level confirm that this As–C bond is much weaker than the As–CH₃ bonds. Furthermore, it was revealed that the sulphur analogue of dimethylarsinic acid (DMAS ) is hydride-generation-active at pH 7 in contrast to dimethylarsinic acid, despite the fact that arsenic is also pentavalent. This has been substantiated by the calculation of the change in susceptibility of the arsenic towards nucleophilic attack when oxygen is replaced by sulphur. Hence, DMAS can easily be mistaken for a trivalent arsenic species.

N-Heterocyclic Carbene Stabilized Dicarbondiphosphides: Strong Neutral Four-Membered Heterocyclic 6π-Electron Donors

In contrast to cyclic π-conjugated hydrocarbons, the coordination chemistry of inorganic heterocycles is less developed. Dicarbondiphosphides stabilized by N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) NHC→C₂P₂←NHC ( 1 a , b ) (NHC=IPr or SIPr) contain a four-membered C₂P₂ ring with an aromatic 6π-electron configuration. These heterocycles coordinate to a variety of complex fragments with metals from groups 6, 9, and 10, namely [M⁰(CO)₃] (M=Cr, Mo), [Co^I(CO)₂]⁺, or [Ni^IIBr₂], through an η⁴-coordination mode, leading to complexes 2 a , b , 3 a , b , 5 a , b , and 6 a , b , respectively. These complexes were characterized by X-ray diffraction methods using single crystals, IR spectroscopy, and DFT calculations. In combination these methods indicate that 1 a , b behave as exceptionally strong 6π-electron donors.

Structural Organization of Symmetrical Dialkylthiuram Disulfides and Their Cyclic Analogs: X-Ray Diffraction and CP/MAS (13C, 15N) NMR Studies

High-resolution ¹³C and ¹⁵N solid-state NMR spectra were recorded for seven crystalline tetraalkyl-thiuram disulfides and their cyclic analogs of the general formula [R₂NC(S)S]₂ (where R = CH₃, C₂H₅, C₃H₇, and i-C₃H₇ or R₂ = (CH₂)₅, (CH₂)₆, and (CH₂)₄O). The ¹⁵N and ¹³C NMR resonances were assigned to the particular atoms in the compounds studied. Different isotropic ¹⁵N chemical shifts for both dialkyldithiocarbamato groups were interpreted while considering the inductive effects of the alkyl substituents combined with the mesomeric effect of the dithiocarbamato group. X-ray diffraction data were used to refine the molecular structure of bis(cyclohexamethylene)thiuram disulfide and to quantitatively characterize the conformations of the seven-membered N(CH₂)₆ heterocycles.

Amino-sulphur-fluorine derivatives as fluoride ion donors: preparation of three- and four-coordinated cations of sulphur (IV) and (VI) [1,2]

Pentacoordinated aminosulphur (IV) trifluorides, R₂N$\text{S}$F₃, (in this paper the lone pair in S(IV)-derivatives is always considered as a ligand) and aminosulphur(VI)-oxidetrifluorides, R₂NS(O)F₃, readily lose a fluoride ion to Lewis acids (AsF₅, SbF₅, BF₃) to give sulphur-containing cationic species [R₂N$\text{S}$F₂]⁺ and [R₂NS(O)F₂]⁺ with tetracoordinated sulphur. Tetracoordinated neutral dialkylaminosulphur(IV)-oxidefluorides, R₂N$\text{S}$(O)F, and amino-imino sulphur(IV)fluorides, R₂N$\text{S}$(=NR_f)F, give three-coordinated sulphur cations [R₂N$\text{S}$O]⁺] or [R₂N$\text{S}$NR_f]⁺.The three-coordinated sulphur(VI)cation [R₂NS(O)NR]₊ has also been formed.     

Interaction of sulphur hexafluoride with metals and oxides

The interaction of SF₆ with metals and oxides has been studied by thermal analysis techniques. It has been shown that sulphur hexafluoride is an active fluorinating agent. It reacts both with oxides at temperatures about 600–700° and with metals at about 500–600°, to produce fluorides with the former and fluorides as well as sulphides with the latter. Higher temperatures bring about transformation of metals and their sulphides into pure fluorides.Thermodynamic evaluation of possible processes taking place in the fluorination of metals and oxides has been carried out.X-Ray diffraction and chemical analyses were used to identify final products for such metals and oxides as Zn, Cd, La₂O₃, Nd₂O₃ and Pr₆O₁₁.     

Concise and Additive-Free Click Reactions between Amines and CF3SO3CF3

Trifluoromethyl trifluoromethanesulfonate has proved to be an excellent reservoir of difluorophosgene and a promising click ligation for amines in the preparation of urea derivatives, heterocycles, and carbamoyl fluorides under metal- and additive-free conditions. The reactions are rapid, efficient, selective, and versatile, and can be performed in benign solvents, giving products in excellent yields with minimal efforts for purification. The characteristics of the reactions meet the requirements of a click reaction. The use of trifluoromethyl trifluoromethanesulfonate as a click reagent is advantageous over other “CO” sources (e.g., TsOCF₃, PhCO₂CF₃, CsOCF₃, AgOCF₃, and triphosgene) because this reagent is readily accessible; easy to scale up; and highly reactive, even under metal- and additive-free conditions. It is anticipated that CF₃SO₃CF₃ will be increasingly as important as SO₂F₂ as a click agent in future drug design and development.
